About NIR Technologies Inc.
NIR Technologies Inc. was established to develop new applications and deliver services in the new and emerging field of near infrared spectroscopy. Near infrared, which is referred to by some as the sleeping giant of analytical chemistry, has found applications in many industries including pharmaceutical, petrochemical, polymer/plastic, agricultural, food, and medical industries for both quality control and research.
NIR Technologies Inc. has a highly educated and skilled staff. Our founder and Director of Technology, Hormoz Azizian, has a Ph.D. in Organometallic Chemistry from Sussex University, U.K. He has previously worked at both the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo, and as a project leader at one of the top electric power producers in North America. He was technically responsible for: - Development and implementation of the FT-NIR cable insulation identification technology to identify cable insulation on site in nuclear stations
- Design, development, construction and marketing of a portable moisture and saturation analyzer that is used at-line to determine the relative saturation and moisture content of insulating oils in electrical equipment
- Joint development of a polymer modification process at the University of Waterloo which was patented worldwide and received the gold award for innovation from the Government of Canada in 1987. The process was successfully commercialized
His recent FT-NIR developments include: Development of a non-invasive human fat content measurement in less than a minute (Canadian Patent No. 2,404,891-Issued 2003/11/18)
Quantitative analysis of trans fatty acids using Fourier Transform Near Infrared Spectroscopy (Patent Pending)

Technology:
What is NIR? Near Infrared Spectroscopy.
- In simple terms, a near infrared laser light is pointed at a sample using fibre optic probe and the reflected signal is processed for absorption or reflectance characteristics. In other word, we take a
chemical fingerprint of a material using infrared light at a
specific point in time.
- In spectroscopic terms, NIR means the measurement of the
wavelength and intensities of the absorption of near infrared
light by a sample. The absorption or reflectance spectrum is
directly proportional to the chemical composition of the sample.
- In economical terms, near infrared means fast, accurate,
reliable, cost-effective and non-destructive measurement for
identification of materials and quality control.
Near Infrared Spectroscopy has established itself as a non-destructive tool for identification of cable insulation in nuclear power plants. NIR Technologies Inc.'s founder was responsible
for the development and implementation of this technology at one of the top electric power producers in North America.
NIR Technologies Inc. provided this services to RCM Technologies at Bruce power in the restart of units 3 - 4 and continues to do the same in the restart of units 1 - 2.
Current R - D activities at NIR Technologies Inc. are focused on the development of quantitative analysis of fatty acids in fats - Oils and food products. We have currently specific models available for licensing for use with Fourier Transform Near Infrared Spectroscopy. This technology has the speed of FTIR as well as the specificity of the Gas Chromatography method which are both industry standards.
